How to plan for yourself a life plan?
Editor’s note: This article from the micro-channel public number “ Zhaopin HR Association “(ID: clubhr ), by Huang Lanlan.
In 2019, it is a cold winter for companies, and HR for the workplace may also be difficult. The company where they work is either implementing layoffs or even letting HR communicate with employees with zero compensation. Either the development of the company is difficult, and personal promotion and salary increase has become a luxury.
A friend who has been working in HR for more than 3 years told me a few days ago that I wanted to transform into sales. A HR friend nearby chose to leave a high-paying company to work in a small business, freeing up more time to take care of the family.There is another person who works as an HRM in a company, but the company intends to train her as an operating director, and she is also very entangled in the face of whether to transform.
All of this is actually related to career planning. As a person who often plans and designs for others’ careers, how can HR plan for yourself a life plan that suits you?
Especially our huge female HR group. According to the survey on the survival status of women in the 2018 recruitment by Zhilian:
On the main challenges faced by women in the workplace, 45.4% of women believe that “career planning is unclear and there is no direction.”
As a female HR, I think that compared with the complete big proposition of career planning, combing and achieving one’s short-term and long-term goals will be more pragmatic and effective for one’s development.
The book “Foresight” states: “Most people regard working life as a job, not a career;
Focusing too much attention on the next step, not the whole path. “
That is to say, many people underestimate the length of a person’s career.
If you subtract 62 years from your current age, even if you are already 40, you still have more than 20 years to work. Think of it this way, will you stop tangling or confusing the present and the present, but will seriously start thinking about what you need to do at each stage.
Each of these stages is our current short-term goal. The realization of each of these seemingly short-term goals is actually paving the way and serving your long-term goals.
Set your short- and long-term goals.
For example, when I decided to choose HR as my long-term goal in life, I also made and completed many short-term plans at the same time:
Learn about human resource management courses and get a qualification certificate. Make your profession more systematic and professional.
While choosing continuing education, systematically study the course of a psychological consultant to better understand the psychology of oneself and others, and become a human resource manager who understands human nature more.
From the passive full module at the beginning, to the active single module, to the overall management of the entire module. While exercising professional ability, there are more dimensions of management perspective and comprehensive thinking.
Also, setting and achieving a small, short-term goal makes it easier for you to get satisfaction and fulfillment.
For example, do n’t think about how I want to be promoted to HRM or HRD, butSet your heart to learn and accumulate, and complete your short-term goals first:
For example, get a professional certificate or upgrade your education background, get the door to higher positions;
Compare your current gaps and do a good job of learning and output of each day;
And make a little achievement in your current position, handle your relationship with your superiors or bosses, and let them have a good impression and evaluation of you.
Think about your long-term goals, and then develop and complete your short-term plans around this long-term goal.
Review your short- and long-term goals.
I was interviewing a freshman one time. I asked her about her career plan. She said that she was of course a great HR and she kept going up step by step.
I then asked her what you usually do and what skills you are learning.
She told me that she likes yoga and is going to take a yoga certificate next month. Then I asked her if she could study the HR course systematically. She said that she hadn’t, and she was ready to apply for HR.
It’s obvious career planning is not clear, or it’s not thought about at all. If you think about your long-term goals, but don’t have your short-term plans, or your short-term plans simply can’t serve your long-term goals, then it doesn’t make any sense.
It’s not that a person can’t have their own hobby, but that a person’s energy is limited. If you invest more time in things that are not related to your goal, the possibility of achieving it is really slim.
How to look at your goals and use SMART principles to increase your chances of achieving them.
S-Goals must be specific and clear.
A powerful person is not as clear and clear as a powerful HRM goal.
M-Goals must be measurable.
This powerful HRM you want to become, how to measure its power, is the revenue, the company you are in, or what capabilities you think are important.
A-Goal must be achievable.
It means that your goals have realistic meaning.
The R-goal must be realistic and relevant to other goals
It is these things you are doing now and the effort you can make to achieve your goals.
T-targets must have clear deadlines.
Does it take 1 year, 3 years, or 5 years to complete, clearThe deadline on the one hand gives you a sense of urgency, and it is also the final acceptance of whether the goal is achieved.
Examine your short-term and long-term goals, whether they are strongly related, and the rationality of each step of goal setting and the action to complete it.
Do your time and energy well.
Sometimes, our long-term goals and your current job are not on the same track, or when you are preparing for your long-term goals, you need to manage time and energy.
Before I decided to work in human resources, I didn’t do HR. Although I had to work 80% of the time, I would devote 20% of my time to working around my long-term goals.
Many people in the workplace actually have different ideals than his current job and role, but because of current income security, job responsibilities, and personal missions, he has to pay extra time and labor, so do this time well. The management of energy is very important.
About time management, I personally think that there are 3 small methods that are very useful.
The first is the list method.
As mentioned in the book Revolution, the greatest value of the inventory revolution lies in your repeated deliberation and strict implementation of an event or method.
Make a list of your work, check the achievement of each day, so that you will not forget it, and you have a sense of accomplishment if you do n’t reach it. Remind yourself to keep working hard tomorrow.
Make a list of your life, when you will spend it with your children, and when you will use it for personal study, so that you can better balance work and life.
Stand down the list, and witness every effort you make through this cycle of record-keeping, inspection, adjustment, and completion.
The second is to do things.
The simplest time management is: only three important things per day are enough.
Or it can be replaced with: Doing only one complete, difficult, and important thing every day is enough.
We need to keep things in mind, so that we can always grasp the things that are most important to us. The goals are clear and not blind.
The third is motivation.
The book “A Brief History of the Future of HR” states that “there is no one in the world who cannot be motivated.”
Each of us needs motivation to live. This incentive can be a visible system, a position you want, or a gift, or it can be invisible values or personal beliefs.
And these three methods can be linked together for better results.
For example, you make a list of three important things that need to be done every day, and circle the one that is the most challenging and important to your long-term goals. Whenever you complete it, go to it Reward yourself. Or think about the powers that motivate you when you’re done, and when you feel tough.
